From soft pastels to bold botanicals, here's your guide to the colours dominating spring and summer 2025.
Spring and summer 2025 arrive with a mood of gentle confidence. The runways — from Miu Miu to Bottega Veneta — are dressed in colours that feel at once timeless and quietly new. And nowhere does colour speak louder than in a silk scarf.
We've studied the season's direction carefully, so you don't have to. Here are the colours that matter right now, and how each one can be worn.
THE COLOURS OF THE SEASON
- Mocha Mousse — Pantone 2025 Colour of the Year
- Sage Green — Soft, botanical, effortless
- Dusty Rose — Romantic and endlessly versatile
- Powder Blue — Crisp, cool, European
- Butter Yellow — Warm, luminous, summer-ready
- Deep Navy — The quiet luxury anchor
Mocha Mousse, Pantone's Colour of the Year, sets the tone for the entire season — warm, grounded, and luxuriously neutral. It pairs beautifully with ivory, camel, and deep burgundy, and it is a natural companion to the quiet luxury aesthetic that has defined fashion's direction for two years running.
But pastels are the true story of spring 2025. Sage greens, dusty roses, and soft powder blues are appearing everywhere — on the runways of Emporio Armani, in street style from Paris to New York, and in the wardrobes of women who dress with intention. These are not the sharp pastels of previous decades. They are muted, watercolour-soft, and deeply wearable.
HOW TO WEAR COLOUR THIS SEASON
The simplest rule: one scarf, one statement. If you are wearing a neutral outfit — white linen, beige trousers, a classic blazer — let your scarf carry all the colour. A butter-yellow silk square tied loosely at the neck transforms an understated look into something that feels considered and expensive.
For those drawn to bolder combinations, 2025 approves of the tonal approach: layer shades from the same colour family rather than reaching for contrast. A dusty rose scarf over a blush or ivory dress creates depth without drama. A sage green tied to a forest-coloured bag feels intentional, not accidental.
STYLE NOTE
Silk scarves are trending precisely because they offer maximum impact from a single, compact piece. Worn at the neck, tied to a bag, draped over the hair — one scarf can deliver a dozen different looks from a single purchase. This is considered dressing at its most elegant.
The square silk scarf — our speciality — is having a particular moment. Fashion editors at Marie Claire and Fashionista have called it the unexpected It-accessory of summer 2025. It is being worn as a neck tie, a headscarf, a bag charm, a belt, and even as a top. Its versatility is unmatched by any other accessory at this price point.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WARDROBE
Investing in a silk scarf this season is not a trend purchase — it is a considered one. The colours that matter in 2025 are precisely the colours that will matter in 2030: warm neutrals, soft botanicals, quiet blues. These are not colours that date. They are colours that settle into a wardrobe and stay.
A 100% Mulberry silk scarf, hand-finished and designed with care, carries that permanence. It is the kind of piece that improves with every wearing — as you discover new ways to tie it, new outfits it elevates, new moments it marks.
This spring, dress with intention. Start with colour. Start with silk.
